In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2783]]></link><description><![CDATA[For spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day is dismissed,  The little one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5905]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day is dismissed,  The little one gather around me,   To bid me good-night and be kissed;    On, the little white arms that encircle     My neck in their tender embrace      Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,       Shedding sunshine of love on my face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28737]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tears are words the heart can't express ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tears are words the heart can't express]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is the architect of his own fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is the architect of his own fortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a great quarterback.
